Video: Rare 1896 Footage of a Pope Leo XIII (Horse Drawn Popemobile!)




Last week Canterbury Tales featured a film of Pope Benedict's priestly ordination video. This week we have another oldie-but-goodie...the first ever video recording of a Pope. It is footage of Pope Leo XIII in 1896 (the same year in which His Holiness declared Anglican holy orders as utterly null and void).

Note His Holiness' old-school horse-drawn popemobile. It looks like somebody forgot to paint it white and install the bullet proof glass bubble...
